I have helped about a 1/2 dozen clients with kitchens this year. I like the light Granite and keep recommending it. :) much more durable than marble but just as beautiful. In this clients home (besides installing all new cabinetry) we replaced the flooring throughout (new hardwood down and new carpet up), all the light fixtures, did some wallpaper and some draperies. Next year we will move ahead with new furniture and THEN I will take my after shots of the remaining rooms. :) BEFORE
